2003 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
"It's an undercover Hooptie"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver side window sometimes won't go up.
My water pump went out.
I have blew a head gasket.
My change oil light is on.
General comments?
About 2 weeks after I got the car my driver side window would sometimes go up and sometimes wouldn't. Believe my motor is slowly going out.
About 2 months after getting the car which is was used, my water pump went out I had to have it towed and spent $200 to get it fixed.
I found out I have a blown head gasket, the car has never over heated on me, but yet I have a blown head gasket.
I just had my oil changed about 3wks ago and now my light is on again, I haven't even reached the miles or the date for another one.
